First and foremost, it's always a pleasure to fly with you, Cata, Astrall, and Svampbob.
Story time...
After his lengthy winter slumber, Cata reappeared and exclaimed, "Gentlemen, we must capture Reacher before the merge."
The rest of the group said with exaggerated enthusiasm, "Yeah, sure, sounds fun!"
And so began the comically over-the-top planning phase.
--- L O A D I N G ---
When the plan was set, it was time for the grand finale: Execution.
We sent our ships. The group was on a hush-hush mode. Reacher still hadn't surfaced. The suspense was killing us. Then, there it was, just minutes before impact. Dang! Homeworld went ablaze and Reacher repositioned his fleet. Oh well... We decided to regroup and try another time.
Fast forward 5 days. Reacher was offline more than usual. Could his fleet really be there? A quick spy mission confirmed it—31 billion stronger fleet with more resources! We weren't quite ready, so we gathered our forces. The clock was ticking, and updating my old sim results was torture! When everything was in place (even those epic probes), we launched our ships and chilled out. Snacks, games, jokes—you know the drill. Then, just before impact, we focused. BANG! Combat report generating, and then we saw it. Reacher finally down.
No biggie about those last ships, Cata
and Keyser nailed it 
Me, Cata, and Svampbob got WF back, too.
Thanks for the support, Imba and Darth
Shoutout to DOOM and TOE!
Oh, and how could I forget? Our beloved
cheerleader v1xx (just one system away) belted out his iconic
cheerleader anthem, "P R OBING YOU, OKAY! LOVE YOUR SMACKING,
ALL RIGHT! OH YOU GO GUYS! WOHO!"
Enjoy
